How many days should I take anti-inflammatory drugs for colposcopy biopsy?

Colposcopic biopsy is actually a very common method of gynecological examination. Many times, we need to perform colposcopic biopsy to detect diseases in the body. But many friends will ask: How many days should I take anti-inflammatory drugs after a colposcopic biopsy? In fact, you need to consult a doctor before using anti-inflammatory drugs. If your body is not inflamed, you do not need to take anti-inflammatory drugs.

Simply put: colposcopy is a screening method and biopsy is a confirmatory method. Colposcopy can observe the morphological structure of the vascular epithelium on the surface of the cervix to evaluate local cervical lesions. The situations in which a colposcopy is needed include: cytology examination showing ASC-US combined with high-risk HPV DNA infection, or LSIL and above; HPV infection types 16 and 18; colposcopy before cervical conization to determine the extent of resection; and gynecological examination for suspected diagnosis of vulvar, vaginal and cervical lesions.

If the cytology test is negative and the HPV infection is high-risk, but not type 16 or 18, a colposcopy is not required. It can be treated by observation or topical medication for 3-6 months, and TCT and HPV should be rechecked after stopping the medication for 1 month. If the high-risk HPV infection is types 16 and 18, further colposcopy is required regardless of whether the cytology test is negative or positive.

Biopsy is the process of taking local tissue for pathological examination, which is a means of diagnosing cervical cancer. For patients with ASC-H and LSIL, colposcopy and biopsy are required. For patients with HSIL, colposcopy and biopsy are also required, and cone biopsy can also be performed if necessary.

Currently, there is a trend of over-examination due to many reasons, including the fact that some clinicians fail to understand the indications for colposcopy. As patients, we must have a thorough understanding of our own condition and not blindly follow the opinions of friends around us, which may lead to the irrational use of the colposcope. Colposcopy is painless, so there is no need to be afraid. There is basically no pain when taking tissue from the cervix for pathology. If the doctor thinks it is necessary, you don't have to refuse the examination out of fear, so as not to delay your treatment.
